Coroner: Poconos husband, wife die in apparent homicide-suicide

A husband and wife were found dead inside their Poconos home following an apparent homicide-suicide, according to Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen.

Micheal Buckley, 62, and Diana Buckley, 60, of the 2200 block of Ann Street in Hamilton Township, had been dead inside their home for weeks. They were found Friday after a family member requested state police conduct a welfare check.

Diana Buckley shot and killed her husband before turning the gun on herself, according to Allen.
